WHE GAS QUESTION.

Good Advice, for the Reai-Estate Boomers
of the Hoosier State.
Chicago Inter Ocean,
What is Indiana aeoing to do with her gasl It
is Of no use without factories to consume it, and
it may be worth while to caution our neightors
against too grent expectations. Very large fac
tories are the creations of very large capitals,
and very large capitals are the most cautious
creatures in the world. man or body of men
who have largo factory in Ohio or New Jersey
will not tear up and move to Indiana merely be-
cause Indiana carr offer cheap fuel in the guise
OF gas. The article is not yet very we'll known;
1t is not safe to predict that it's supply will be
permanent Petroleum wells yield for only
brief time and there seems TO be some relation
ship between NATURAL cas- and petroleum Be-
sides. the area of distribution OF natural gas is
immense. 1t seems to be found every where, or
leum was dreamed of, they used to show burn
ing spring" on the edge OF Niagara 1t was
counted as a wonder then; nowadays every one
knows that it is Just the kind OF gas that Is found
in all petroleum ard m pst salt wells. Burning
springs can be- found by the hundred in the val
leys of West Virginia tnd Ohio. and there the
gas is near the iron ors, which can DC melted
by it
But the intent of this is to rejoice in, rather
than depreciate, our neighbours good luck. Let
the Indiana people utilize their gas for home
manufactures. Small wooden and cotton mills,
starch factories and other local industries can be
advantageously managed where such cheap fuel
is found. If they prove successful large capitals
will be attracted. If fictitious prices are made
the rule small capitals viii he made timid. and
the first manufacturing efforts OF the Indiana
gas regions will have to be made by small cap
itals.

The Profit IN Fuel Gas.
Richmond Palladium.
one of the most extensive manufacturing estab-
lishments at New Brighton, Pa, was in our city,
and. in conversation with one of our leading
wholesale merchants. gave some OF the expert
ences and results of piping natural gas from the
we'll to that city. which may be stated in few
words. and be of benefit to our people, The gas
is brought in pipes distance of twelve miles,
through eight and ten inch mains. and reduces
the cost of fuel to consumers 90 per cent under
cheap COAL Two inch pipes are used from the
mains to the houses, and three quarter into
CRATES. stores, fire -places, ETC. The company
lays pipe to curb-sroEe.
The same main supplies Beaver Falls, Roches-
ter. Bridgeport and Bridgewater. containing an
aggregate population of $4,000. and all manu-
featuring points of considerable Importance In
one of these towns battery of forty steam boil
ers is supplied from this main. Extensive pot
teries and brick-yarfs are located at New Brigh-
ton. and all use no other fuel.
The supply has always been equal to any
quirement, and the mains have been in uso
about three years.
The most wonderful statement however. was
that the company owning the pipe line were
making dividends of two to three hundred per
cent. on their capital invested.

THE President in his letter de-
ciDing to visit St. Louis during the
reunion of the Grand Army of the
Republic is not quite fair to the
members of the G.. A. X. Those
who protested most earnestly against
the programme as arranged by the
St. Louis committee did so because
their order was to be made part of
a political demonstration in favor
of the President. They commended
that ever since the organization of
the Grand Army determined effort
had been made to keep the orgsni-
cation aloof from political move
ments, and pointed to the fact that
at the meeting at Portland, Me,
objection was raised TO a visit from
Mr.. Blaine and sustained. 1t was
very desirable, however, that the
President should step outside the
limits Of the controversy, and he
has done so.
On another point the President is
neither frank nor fair. He states
that the feeling Of the ex-soldiers
against him is based on "certain
official acts" meaning the veto Of
the pension bills. The fact is that
the iil-felling among the ex-soldiers
was not caused by the exercise Of
the Presidents veto power SO much
as by the hearlless and needlessly
offensive language used in the
messages. The President went out
Of his way to east slurs on crippled
veterans, aud the old soldiers in the
hot fury Of honest Indignation re-
sented the wanton Insult. II is
well for the President to remember
that he from his high office, threw
the first stone; aud if he has been
hurt he il in the main responsible.

The Presidents Abandoned Visit

Ii is certain that President Cleve-
lands letter announcing his inteu-
ton not to visit st. Louis during
the Gmud Army National En-.
campmeut, is written m an excellent
spirit. The controversy from the
first has been an unfortunate one.
The cause for the hostility of g
part of the old soldier element %
the President is very apparent
His pension vetoes have shown %
sIgor aud ascerbity which did not
inspire any of his other state papers.
Doubtless q pension fraud is as bad
as any other fraud. But there was
other fraudulent legislation which
he did NOT veto, aud there was no
reason for making his pension
vetoes a class by themselves 40
thrir sarcasm and I'LL nature 1t Is,
quite probable that some OF bis
pension vetoes were just, and pre-
vented the Treasury from being
robbed Of a few dollars. It's quite
IA probable that others were uu-
iuSt. aud the bitterness OF their
styIe added to the ranking injury
that they inflicted.
The captured days episode contrl-
buted 10 the bad state Of feeling on
the part Of the veterans whose yea
like their loyalty, is sensitive and
extreme. But all must say that IN
Withdrawing his acceptance OF the
